Standing by the pond,

a mother deer watches as

her two babies drink.

JDG

Fireflies by night,

hummingbirds by day keep things

moving out my way.

JDG

The pond silently

awaits the arrival of

the migrating geese.

JDG

The clouds overhead

are still pondering whether 

to let their tears fall.

JDG

Just before sunrise

when all the world is asleep,

an owl suggests we wake up.

JDG

That raven came for

a sample and ended up

eating a full meal.

JDG

Now that evening’s come

thunder claps as sky sheds tears

and sun disappears.

JDG

On a morning hop –

two baby rabbits and one

adoring mother.

JDG

Standoff in the sky:

brightly shining sun versus

scattered clouds of gloom.

JDG

It finally let go,

that last remaining fall leaf

that held on so long.
